Curve XYZ tool?

I am trying to create an airfoil section using airfoil data points X Y Z coordinates from excel spreadsheet. In Solidworks for e.g there is a tool Curve XYZ, where you can insert data and the points will draw automatically on the plane of your choice. Is there such a thing for Onshape?
Many thanks!
Many thanks!

Currently we don't have a way to input x,y,z co-ordinates to make curves.Jake RamsleyDirector of Quality Engineering & Release Manager onshape.com0

I need the same thing. I've been using Sketchup and there are plugins for importing .dxf and .dat files that I use to get airfoil curves into a model.0

Hi... if you or somebody still have this problem:
http://www.mh-aerotools.de/airfoils/index.htm
Here you find a tool (concord) that converts xyz-coordinates to dxf and similar.0 -
